[Bug]: T-beam v1.1 cannot setup CN470 directly

Hardware

T-Beam

Firmware Version

2.3.8

Description

After freshly flashed and reset a T-beam v1.1 board (the 433/470 MHz variant with SX1268 chip), directly setting region to CN470 would fail, with critical fault # 3 showing on screen. Error logs are attached down below.

Some probably important messages:

1. It reports critical error 7 before rebooting;
2. After booting, it fails to init either RF95, SX1262 or SX1268, then reporting error 3;
3. It also reports error 4 in NodeInfoModule and DeviceTelemetryModule.

However, if I set it to EU433 first (which works fine), then set it back to CN470, it instead works. None of the above error messages showed up, and in both cases (setting to EU433 or CN470), log reports RF95 init success.

Hi @SteveHawk , is the latest firmware better?

[SteveHawk]

@fifieldt Hi, haven't checked in a while, so I try flashed both 2.5.1 and 2.4.2 onto my T-Beam, and the described issue still exists.

[fifieldt]

One guess: it's trying to initialise a radio that doesn't speak that frequency. Will need to check the logic in the code.
